l such conections as popcorn, peanuts and certain candies4 -in papersacks or boxes. Considerable eiort has been made to irnprove the packageand offer a better article. The purpose oat this invention is to producea confection which includes an ,edible container or holder for an ediblefilling, and has particularly to do withthe process of inaking.

ln carrying out the invention a plurality of sections are formed ofdough or other suitable materialand bakedcrisp. il filling oi2 ediblesis made in the shape of a ball and the sections assembled around thelilling. A. suitable sealing material is applied to the edges of thesections so as to hold them to` gether. his an alternative a sack ofpeanuts may be inclosed in the sections instead ot the ball otsweetmeats. The invention will be more readily under'- vstood trein areading ot the following specilication and by reference to theaccompanying drawings, in which an example ol the invention is shown andwherein:

Figure 1 is an elevation showing two semi-spherical sections made inaccordance with the recess,

lqig. 2 1s a sectional view of the sections wutilled with confections,

Fig.A 3 is a similar view showing the sealinmaterial in place, and

g. d 1s an elevation ofthe completed article.

ln the drawings A and B designate 4two semi-spherical sections or halveswhich-may be made ot dough and baked crisp. VThis dough which is thusbaked crisp possesses a porous or grain appearance. These sections -havea lilling @which may include opcorn, peanuts, candies, raisins or anyoter confections or sweets. The sections are fastened together by asealing material D, such as dough mixed with gelatin. Where the sectionsare made to represent a baseball ornamental marks'E, simulatingstitching may vbe used.

ln carrying out the process a suitable batter is made of flour and wateror other in-' gredients. This batter is baked in molds to produce thesections A and B., which itis understood are not 'limited to the shapeshown in the drawings.

The' next step consists vin preparing and producing the4 confection()which may include popcorn either plain or sweetened, candy wrapped orunwrapped, or peanuts, which if salted, must be contained in amoisture-proof sack. Other ingredients may be used and a mixture .ofingredients make a very attractive package. i

As an illustration we will use a filling composed oit popcorn, candy,split peanuts, sugar4 and water. These ingredients are properlyg mixedand molded or pressed into balls. hes-e halls have diameters such as topermit themrto lit snugly in the sections A and B.

The sections having been rnade, are placed before an operator 'who isalso provided with a sealinginaterial such as dough mixed with gelatin,which will harden and form a' cement. The operator picks lup two of thesections or halves and dips the edges in the sealing material and thencatches the filling ball between the sections and brings the lattertogether around the ball. The illing ball is thus inclosed and the edgesot the sections sealed andv fastened together. As soon as the sealingmaterial or cement sets the sections are firmly secured to each other.

lt will be seen that the lling ball is fully covered and foreign matterexcluded, there by making a sanitary package. lf, salted peanuts areusedthe filling must be inclosed in a moisture-proof sack before insertingin the sections.

lt is pointed out that the crisp nature of the sections does not permitof much pres sure, therefore it is desirable to previously In'old thefilling into a ball, thus compact ing said ingredients and not dependingupon the assembling of the sections to perform this oiiice.

The package is now complete and ready for vending. The stitches E maybeprinted on the package if a representation of a baseball is being made.lftis obvious that the whole article may be eaten and there is no waste.

What I claim, is:

1; The herein described method of producing a new article of manufacturewhich is edible throughout, which consists in molding dough intocasing-sections and baking the same, molding an edible filling to fitwithin the 'casing-sections, applying a cement to the edges of thecasing-sections,

placing such sections l,upon the molded lill ing so that the cementcoated edges are brought near each other, allowing ,the cement toharden, whereby the casing-sections are united and their edges sealed,and printing stitching upon the assembled sections.

2. The herein-described method of producing a new article of manufacturewhich is edible throughout, which consists in molding dough intocasing-sections and subjecting the same to heat so that they are bakedcrispLdipping the edges of the casing-sections iln a cement, within' thecasing-sections and moving the edges thereof in proximity to each otherallowing the cement to harden, and printing a seam upon the exteriorsurface of the casing-sections. Y

placing an edible filling` 3.The herein-described' method of /producin'ga new article of manufacture, which is edible throughout, which consistsin molding dough into casing-sections and baking the same, molding anedible illi'ng to fit within the'casing-sectlons when assembled,

applying a cement to the edges of the caslng-sections and placing suchsections upon lthe molded filling -so :that such edges are securedtogether. 4. rlhe herein-described method of pro# 'ducing a new articleof manufacture which is edible throughout, which consists in mold-y ingdough into a pair of relatively thin curved casing sections and bakingthe dough crisp so that it possesses a porous or grain appearance,vmolding an edible filling to tit snugly within the pair of casingsections, applying the casing sections to-the molded filling to inclosethe same, applying cement which is edible to the edges of the casingsections and allowing the cement to harden, and forming a seam upon thecasing sections whereby the completed article simulates a ball used inplaying games.
